James and Charlie chose the beautiful Victorian Walk down to Branksome beach as the location for our get together before their big day, and it couldn’t have been a better time of year with the Rhododendrons out in fabulous bloom. I was also introduced to little Yankee, the couples playful bundle of fluff, who I have to be honest not only distracted me from my job but also stole the show in many a photograph!

We strolled down to the beach where both James and Charlie couldn’t hide their playful side, we had lots of dancing and silliness which was a joy to photograph, all the while Yankee was trying to dig to New Zealand...

The couple are getting married locally at Talbot Heath School, I can't wait to document the fun, games and celebrations in a few weeks time.
